Family Friendly Beaver Works Restoration Day in Ochoco National Forest

Date July 12, 2026
Time 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Join us for a fun, hands-on day in the woods as we help restore beaver habitat in the beautiful Ochoco National Forest! This special family-friendly volunteer day is part of our larger restoration project, but Sunday is designed especially for kids, caregivers, and anyone who wants to participate at a lighter pace.

Difficulty level: Easy to Moderate
Great for families with children who enjoy being outdoors and getting a little muddy.

We’ll spend the morning learning about beavers and why they are so important for healthy streams and wildlife habitat. Then we’ll work together to help build a Beaver Dam Analog (BDA), a hand-built structure made of sticks and natural materials that mimics a real beaver dam.
